Challenge: Free Study 2008-04 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D70
Location: Vilanculos, Mozambique
Date: Apr 16, 2008
Aperture: F/16
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/400
Date Uploaded: Apr 30, 2008

taken at sunrise in vilanculos, mozambique. i know sun rise/set photos are kind of, well, common, but it was kind of nice and in a unique place (although it's hard to capture that in this type of photo), and i kept adjusting the aperture and shutter speed to try to get the best combination. this was my last shot. i saw the boat coming and caught it right on. (then i went back to bed . . . what an hour to be up shooting photos!)

adjustments were just cropping, sharpening, and fooling around with the hues, saturation, and contrast - but the end result isn't that different from the untouched original.

You were in the right place at the right time! Lovely sunrise and capture.

At first I thought it was the A-bomb in the background. Nice!

Very creative. You must have had to wait to get this one.

This is just too centered (and I like centered). To me, it seems to want to be a diagonal path leading sunward. Even offsettng the sun/sailboat left / right 1/3 would be better.

Beautiful work here, simply elegant in a timeless, classic way, smooth clean lines, sharp in all the right places, gorgeous contrasts. Well done indeed

Need better post processing to make this an excellent image.

Great picture ... except for most of the sky and the sun. A lower crop would emphasize the texture at the bottom of the picture.

i want so badly to score this higher, but the banding around the sun is killing me, beautiful image and amazing composition but watch that banding!
